Just change the kills landed message at achieved stages and make them last only for the tour. Then everyone has a title during the tour to wave at each other... :neener: :ahand

Or it can be turned off... :old: :bhead

HOST: Zacherof landed 2 kills *PK*
HOST: Zacherof landed 5 kills **MPK**
HOST: Zacherof landed 10 kills ***GMPK***
HOST: Zacherof landed 15 kills ****MAK****
HOST: Zacherof landed 20 kills *****GMKE*****
HOST: Zacherof landed 25+ kills  >@!@<BDM>@!@<

PK - Plane Killer 
MPK - Master Plane Killer
GMPK - Grand Master Plane Killer
MAK - Master of Aces Killer
GMAK - Grand Master of Aces Killer
BDM -  Bow Down to ME

For every time after the first except with the PK, add a number to the title.

HOST: Zacherof MPK-2 landed 5 kills *MPK-3*
HOST: Zacherof GMPK landed 10 kills *GMPK-2*
HOST: Zacherof MAK-13 landed 15 kills *MAK-14*
HOST: Zacherof BDM landed 57 kills *BDM-2*

Say fuzzball is a newbie and he lands his first 2 kill string.

HOST: fuzzball  landed 2 kills *PK*

Now when ever fuzzball lands kills or communicates during a tour its:
HOST:fuzzball PK landed 3 kills
HOST:fuzzball PK Zacherof waaaa you picked me waaaaa

Or

:Zacherof BDM-2 Waaa you picked me I been robbed....oops, it was another BDM.
:BDM glad you know my name now......hehehehehe

I would strongly suggest them being arena specific or only in the LWMA and not allowed as player IDs. Who knows how many upset "other MA" BDM would be screaming on ch200 and local channel in the LWMA after getting spanked repeatedly because of the title. Still if the player doesn't turn off the feature. Then scroll through the roster to find hotshots you want to try your mettle against during the tour. Might want to make up a whole different bunch of these for GVing and manned gunning.

HOST:Dr7 landed 50 Tiger I kills<----Dr7 comes to mind

This would be no different than the Red Baron and his colorful fighter circus or placing kill markers on your fighter large enough to be seen during a close merge. The title would be a better way for a pilot who cares and doesn't disable it, to carry around the primary accomplishment flag we up fighters for. Stars are nice but, have no immediate tangible meaning other than you accomplished a lot of "things???".

A title means at least once during the tour you shot down that many aircraft in a completed sortie. Or can't get 5 in a single sortie. I suspect the roster would be quite telling. This is just short of plastering medals all over your roster player ID and as effective.

Communication has gone the way of Socratic debate and the Dodo. Along with our space program projects used to be awarded to the cheapest solutions by the lowest bidder. Probably because Holy Wall was in charge of reading contract bids and it hurt his brain.
